(2018-07)The present study uses the16 Personality Factor Couple’s Counseling Report (16PF-CCR) to contribute to the current limited understanding of how gender differences, embedded in personality factors, influence marital ... -
A Study of Cloud Haskell With Applications to MapReduce
(2018-07)In this thesis, we developed a MapReduce application for performing word count in files. We compared the performance of the implementations done using Control.Parallel - built-in Haskell library for parallel/concurrent ... -
Academic Integrity & Academic Dishonesty: A Handbook About Cheating & Plagiarism
(2011)Introduction By the year 2000, it was evident that two new specters were haunting the halls of academia: a proliferation of legitimate Internet sites (e.g. primary source texts) and illegitimate Internet sites (e.g. ... -
Climate change and the threat of novel marine predators in Antarctica
(2017-11)Historically low temperatures have severely limited skeleton-breaking predation on the Antarctic shelf, facilitating the evolution of a benthic fauna poorly defended against durophagy. Now, rapid warming of the Southern ... -
Search for top squarks and dark matter particles in opposite-charge dilepton final states at s = 13 TeV
(2018-02-01)A search for new physics is presented in final states with two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons), jets identified as originating from b quarks, and missing transverse momentum (pTmiss). The search uses ... -
A novel application of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors in MPGD
(2018-02-21)We present a novel application of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors in the construction and characterisation of Micro Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD), with particular attention to the realisation of the largest triple (Gas ... -
Development of Product Recyclability Index Utilizing Design for Assembly and Disassembly Principles
(2018-03-01)Designing products for recyclability is driven by environmental and economic goals. Several design for assembly (DFA) rules and parameters can be used to gauge the recyclability index of product designs. These indices can ... -
Keeping up with sea-level rise: Carbonate production rates in Palau and Yap, western Pacific Ocean
(2018-05-08)Coral reefs protect islands from tropical storm waves and provide goods and services for millions of islanders worldwide. Yet it is unknown how coral reefs in general, and carbonate production in particular, will respond ... -
Lyapunov Functions to Caputo Fractional Neural Networks with Time-Varying Delays
(2018-05-09)One of the main properties of solutions of nonlinear Caputo fractional neural networks is stability and often the direct Lyapunov method is used to study stability properties (usually these Lyapunov functions do not depend ... -
Orbital Characteristics of the Subdwarf-B and F V Star Binary EC 20117-4014 (=V4640 Sgr)
(2018-06-01)Among the competing evolution theories for subdwarf-B (sdB) stars is the binary evolution scenario. EC 20117-4014 (=V4640 Sgr) is a spectroscopic binary system consisting of a pulsating sdB star and a late F main-sequence ... -
Effects of Coronal Magnetic Field Structures on the Transport of Solar Energetic Particles
(2018-06-04)This Letter presents a model calculation of solar energetic particle (SEP) transport to test the sensitivity of the distribution of escaped SEPs in interplanetary space and dependence upon the details of the magnetic field ... -
